Identification of Need
The referral process begins when a patient visits a primary care provider (PCP) or a healthcare specialist determines the need for specialized care, services, or consultations.
Referral Order
If a referral is necessary, the provider generates a referral order in the electronic health record (EHR) system. The referral order includes details such as the reason for referral, the specialist or facility being referred to, any relevant medical information, and the urgency of the referral.
Authorization Process
Upon receiving the referral order, our team verifies the patient's insurance coverage and checks for referral and authorization requirements. If the services or procedures require prior authorization from the insurance company, we submit an authorization request along with supporting documentation.
Approval or Denial
The insurance company reviews the authorization request, assesses the medical necessity, and evaluates if the requested services meet coverage criteria. If approved, the insurance company provides authorization for the services, specifying any conditions, limitations, or requirements.
